7 Lifestyles a Husband Must Not Imbibe

As the head of your family, doing some certain things will not help your marriage. An irresistible husband will eschew all of these things:

A fighter. You can’t be a fighter and simultaneously be a winner at home. You can’t be a wife beater and be an irresistible husband. It doesn’t work that way. A real husband is a complete gentle man, a lover and care-giver.

The easiest way to lose a woman’s love and respect is for a man to consistently tell her lies. Dishonesty to people outside is bad but dishonesty at home is shameful. Once your family knows you are deceitful, you become a laughing stock in your home.

Lilly-Livered. A real man should be bold and fearless; courageous and strong. He should be able to face challenges and defend his home. It is not expected of him to cry uncontrollably in the presence of his wife and children. A real man is identified best when the battle becomes tough. Every woman desires a man who can protect her, someone she can lean on when the battle rages.

Nothing infuriates a woman than an unfaithful man. Once recognized, he is treated like a plague. A man who runs after anything in skirt is a nightmare to any woman. Faithfulness to your spouse cannot be over-emphasized. Though women come in various shapes and sizes, the contents are similar. You should cultivate a deep-seated satisfaction for everything God has given you.

Miserly Attitudes. No matter how wealthy a woman is, she still looks forward to collecting money from her husband. A bad husband is tightfisted; a good one would give sparingly while a great husband would give generously. It is commonly said, “A man cannot be stingy at home and be kingly at the same time”. That is very true; if you are stingy, your wife will not be happy with you. Husbands obtain honour by being givers. Others may have their opinion of you being a miser but that should not be the same with your wife. Stingy men don’t give God pleasure.

A Bad Example. It’s needful to portray a good example to your family. You are supposed to be their role model; you must not lead them astray. Always be kind, merciful, reliable and generous. Let your family emulate you.

The Terrorist. You must not be overtly hard, difficult, terrible and wicked at home. Don’t be a terrorist to your home, a burden to your wife and a terror to your children. It is ungodly. Be gentle, approachable and loving.
